Upon These Stones (at The Barricade) Lyrics - Les Miserables (1987 Original Broadway Cast) - Alain Boublil

(The barricade is now complete.) 

 

Students 

Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade 

Let them come in their legions 

And they will be met 

Have faith in yourselves 

And don't be afraid 

Let's give 'em a screwing 

That they'll never forget! 

This is where it begins! 

And if I should die in the fight to be free 

Where the fighting is hardest 

There will I be 

Let them come if they dare 

We'll be there! 

 

Army Officer (Offstage) 

You at the barricade listen to this 

No one is coming to help you to fight 

You're on your own 

You have no friends 

Give up your guns - or die! 

 

Enjolras 

Damn their warnings, damn their lies 

They will see the people rise! 

 

Students 

Damn their warnings, damn their lies 

They will see the people rise! 

 

(Javert climbs over the barricade.) 

 

Javert 

Listen my friends 

I have done as I said 

I have been to their lines 

I have counted each man 

I will tell what I can 

Better be warned 

They have armies to spare 

And the danger is real 

We will need all our cunning 

To bring them to heel. 

 

Enjolras 

Have faith 

If you know what their movements are 

We'll spoil their game 

There are ways that a people can fight 

We shall overcome their power 

 

Javert 

I have overheard their plans 

There will be no attack tonight 

They intend to starve us out 

Before they start a proper fight 

Concentrate their force 

Hit us from the right.
